[RFC PATCH] Use feature bit names in clearcpuid=

[Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>]

Hi,

so tglx hates this clearcpuid= interface where you have to give the
X86_FEATURE array indices in order to disable a feature bit for testing.
Below is a first attempt (lightly tested in a VM only) to accept the bit
names from /proc/cpuinfo too.

I say "too" because not all feature bits have names and we would still
have to support the numbers. Yeah, yuck.

An exemplary cmdline would then be something like:

clearcpuid=de,440,smca,succory,bmi1,3dnow ("succory" is wrong on
purpose).

and it says:

[    0.000000] Clearing CPUID bits: de 13:24 smca bmi1 3dnow

Also, I'm thinking we should taint the kernel when this option is used.

Thoughts?
